Abstract: The invention relates to a device for determining a load on a hoist of a crane for handling a container, including rope drum, drive motor as well as hoist transmission disposed between drive motor and rope drum and having a hoist transmission case which is swingably supported about an axis in parallel relationship to the rope drum axis and can be supported on its opposite end on at least one torque support, which a device for indirect determination of the load, suspended from the ropes, is assigned to. In order to create a device for determining a load on a hoist, whereby the load determination is protected from external mechanical influences and effected directly on the rope winch and which device is able to determine the entire load suspended from the ropes as well as also single loads and optionally center of gravity positions of the load, it is proposed that in a hoist with two twin rope drums which are arranged on the same axis and operated in synchronism and which have each a pair of load-carrying ropes which can be spooled and unspooled in a same direction, a load-carrying rope of each pair of load-carrying ropes is guided in a common first load-guiding plane, which extends substantially horizontal and is tangent to the twin rope drums, and routed about deflection rollers into the vertical, and the other two load-carrying ropes of each pair of load-carrying ropes are guided vertically in a common second load-guiding plane which is tangent to the twin rope drums.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring and diagnosing the condition of wheelset guiding devices on railway vehicles and a device for carrying out said method. It is generally very difficult to determine whether wheelset guide bushes made of elastomeric materials are sufficiently sturdy for operation or what the (remaining) service life thereof is because there are hardly any reliable calculation methods to do so. Furthermore, monitoring by controlling the dimensions thereof is almost impossible in the mounted state thereof because said wheelset guide bushes are difficult to access due to the assembly layout thereof within the bogie. According to the inventive method, the condition of the wheelset guide bush particularly the play thereof is monitored by evaluating an acceleration signal that is measured in real time in the area of at least one wheelset bearing, whereupon a displacement signal is estimated from said acceleration signal by means of double integration after separating the mean value. The range of said displacement signal is then subjected to a monitoring process.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de commande active de roulis, pour un véhicule à moteur, utilisant des petites vannes afin de réguler de grands débits. Un débit est fourni par une pompe hydraulique mue de certaine façon au moyen du moteur du véhicule. Le débit est dirigé vers les vérins à travers une vanne quatre voies, à trois positions, commandée par deux paires de petites vannes à solénoïdes de type ABS. Le fonctionnement du système requiert ainsi un minimum de puissance fourni par la véhicule. Cet agencement de vannes permet aussi un mode souhaitable en cas de panne du système. Dans ce mode, le liquide hydraulique est bloqué dans les vérins, ce qui verrouille la barre antiroulis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for axially drawing in pre-wound coils into the grooves of stator or rotor laminated cores, wherein a draw-in device comprising annularly arranged, parallel axially displaceable draw-in blades (16) and a central axially displaceable draw-in star element (20) is used to push the inner peripheral areas of the coil windings (10), which are suspended between the draw-in blades (16), through the hole of the laminated core (12). In order to prevent coil windings, which are initially pushed through, from impeding subsequent windings from being pushed through completely, the winding heads (66) of one part of the coil windings (10') protruding above the rear end of the laminated core (12) are forced in a radially outward manner during the drawing-in process in a specific intermediate phase, and the remaining coil windings (10 ) are fully pushed through the hole of the laminated core (12).

Abstract: An image processing system having means of automatic adaptation of 3-D surface Model to image features, for Model-based image segmentation, comprising: dynamic adaptation means for adapting the Model resolution to image features including locally setting higher resolution when reliable image features are found and setting lower resolution in the opposite case. This system comprises estimation means for estimating a feature confidence parameter for each image feature. The model resolution is locally adapted according to said parameter. The feature confidence parameter depends on the feature distance and on the estimation of quality of this feature including estimation of noise. The large distances and the noisy, although close features are penalized. The resolution of the Model is decreased in absence of confidence and is gradually increased with the rise of feature confidence.
